The Washington Family's Wine.

The Washingtons drank wine at their
dinners, and the collection of Washing
toms household effects in the National
museum in Washington shows that the
family possessed much aesthetic taste.
Their china contained many choice bits.
IN the collection there is an immense
punch bowl and several wine services, and
the chaplain Of congress the time Wash
ington was president records presidential
dinner at which he says that Gen. Wash
ington had a silver pint cup Of beer at his
plate, which he drank while eating. The
Washington family had much fine wine in
their cellars at Mount Vernon; but though
Washington drank glass or SO Of Ma
deira at his meals, there is no record Of his
ever having drunk too much. That
Martha Washington appreciated the value
of good wine is evidenced by her will In
it she gives a pipe Of wine to George
Washington Parke Gusts, and directs
that all the wine bottles in the Mount
Vernon vaults be equally divided between
her granddaughter and grandson.

Mr.. Tilton is passing now, he tells his
friends, the most peaceful and contented
years of his life. 1t is three years since
he domiciled himself in Paris, and he will
probably end his days there. He has q
floor in a grand old mansion, once the
home of the Dues d.. Nemours, an ancient
building on the lie de Paris, back of Notre
Dame, in the very heart of historic asso-
Citations. Here he spends much Of his time,
writing, reading, living happily within
himself. For the rest, he is free to dine
wherever his yagrant fancy dictates, to
find companionship wherever he chooses.
Most often he is to be met late afternoons
at the Cafe Regence, one Of the very few
of the famous pre-revolution resorts which
the HaussmanniZation Of the right bank
of the Seine has left intact. Here for q
century and more have the best chess
players CT Paris assembled. Alfred de
Musset was a habitue, and many Of the
older men remember him well.
A far more distinguished frequenter OF
the Regence-whom few enough Of the
company can recall having seen even in
his later hfe-was O certain keen eyed,
aquiline nosed young lieutenant Of ertil-
lery, N. Napoleon Bonaparte. y little

future emperor was wont to sit and school

of fame or of especial achievenc2t come
now to Mr.. Tilton. The work U...1 which
he Is engaged is understood to Le cphcm-
eral in character-done as much fer the
sake of occupation and mental relief as
anything else. lis chief interest IS to like
his life and to keep it smooth, uncventful,
restful, within the compass Of simple de-
sires and pleasant associations.-New

How to Drink Water.

The leading medical journal Of France
has published pamphlet protesting
against the eXtravagant use of artificial
mineral waters, which, it sets forth, do
the double damage of cooling the stomach,
thus laying the foundation for gastric
catarrh, while the limestone held in de-
post in the carbonated waters finds its
way to the kidneys, and eventually pro-
duces Bright's disease. The pamphlet
also protests against ice water as provoc-
alive of catarrh in the stomach. 1t
further says: ''Water should be drunk
cool, but not iced, with the juice Of a
quarter or half lemon in it. Mineral
water should also be drunk with dash of
lemon. Water should always be swal-
lowed slowly. 1t is not the stomach
which is dry, but the mouth and throat.
If you toss off a drink of water you throw
it through your mouth into your stomach,
without doing the former any good, while
you injure the latter by loading it with
what it does not require. Drink slowly,
and keep the water in your mouth for a
moment when you begin. If you work In
q hot room in hot weather tie damp
cloth around your temples, and you will
not experience half the craving for drink
you otherwise would. Atlanta Consti-

The Source of Four Rivers,

Most people have probably heard the
story of the house in Ohio which is said to
be SO exactly balanced upon the boundary
line between the two basins Of the great
lakes and the Ohio river that the rain fall
ing upon one side Of the gable roof goes to
join the st. Lawrence and the ocean, while
on the other side it helps to swell little
brook that finally mingles with the Ohio
and the gulf. There is more wonderful
place than this in India. Almost 500
miles due west of Calcutta is the Ammer-
kantak mountain, which is place of great
sanctity in the eyes of the Hindoos, owing
to the remarkable fact that it is the source
Of one OF the large rivers OF India and Of
feeders of three other rivers that are
among the greatest in the peninsula. The
torrents that flow down its sides travel to
all the cardinal points of the compass.
The Nerbudda. which takes its rise here,
winds its way over 500 miles of plain be-
fore it eElpties into the Indian ocean. The
three other great rivers that are fed from
at. ArlInerkant2k are the Godavery, the
MahanUddy and the Sone.-New York

AN INTERVIEW WITH LINCOLN.
A NIe1odramatic Story Eve Had .
Pretty Ness Of It"

Pretty Ness OF It"
An incident occurred in connection with
my acquaintance with Mr.. Lincoln which,
without my fault, proved to be melodra-
matte and came close, perhaps, to tragedy.
Col -, an old officer superannuated be-
fore the war, was, while I was running
for congress, stationed in my district. He
used to send the garrison band to enliven
our meetings and occasionally to serenade
me. When got to Washington discov-
cred I was expected 'tto pay for the piper"
| by pushing state claim which the colonel
had against the government as commute
ton for quarters, fuel, horses, ETC., while
he was awaiting orders many years pre-
viously in New York. I presented the
case to Secretary Stanton, but although
the claim was technically just he put his
| foot on it Immediately. sWe were scrap
ing the earth, the air and the sea-" he
said, s'to get a dollar to pay live soldiers,
| without wasting money on dead ones" I
tried to keep the old colonel easy by writ
ing him that it was thought the claim was
technically good, but the time inopportune
for presenting it.
Not long after was at the department
on other business, when Stanton told me
he had received visit from Mrs. Col. -,
| who without my knowledge had come to
Washington to push the matter in person.
She was q young wife Of the old colonel,
not devoid Of personal attractions, though
| very tall and Of that style of beauty which
Carlyle, in his description of the Duchess
Of Kendall, denominates "the ramrod
| order" Stanton wanted me to see her
and urge her to go home, as he hated such
visitations. politely declined to assume
any responsibility, either for her presence
or her absence This ended the first les
son, and the matter dropped from my
memory.
Some time after my colleague, Col. DEM
ing, who reported the lieutenant general
bill in a speech of remarkable eloquence,
was invited by President Lincoln to meet
Grant, himself and few others and go
down the river for a sail on government
steamer On his return he related to me
with great gusto the following account
which Mr. Lincoln gave him Of an inter
view with Mrs. Col. - about the old
ante-bellum claim.
One evening, he said, Edward, the jani-
tor, brought up the card Of this lady, who
desired personal interview on important
business Immediately upon being ushered
in she advanced, fell upon her knees,
caught him around the legs and began in
a very imprisoned manner to urge the
claim for compensation. When" said
Mr.. Lincoln, ''the door suddenly opened,
and who do you think entered? Mary
Lincoln and pretty mess we had of itl'
Mrs. Col. - was requested not to stand
on the order of her going but to go at
once. Edward was instructed s'never
again to admit that woman to the White
House." 'iAnd now" said Mr.. Lincoln,
''teu your colleague to get that long legged
woman back to Connecticut or never ex-
pect to ask Of me favor again. -

Hair-Pin Headaches.

Women suffer sometimes from what is called ''hair-pin headache" as well as nervous headache. Both often may be cured by taking out the steel hair pins and letting the hair down for awhile. Sometimes a quick brushing g of the hair over the seat of the pain will drive it off entirely. An old lady says it was her mothers remedy to run back and forth through the hair a set of steel knitting needles and she would recommend 'steel points" every time in cases of headache. For those sub ject to this kind of headache horn or imitation shell hair-pins might be tried, but if the "ache'' arises from the stom- ach, as is frequently the case, neither a change of hair-pins nor an applica- tton of ''steel points, will effect cure.
